This is special message to @ngc
10 SBDDMvndrYNykdcdG7jBpgVsSs6vqz4c5C5GyDear sir @ngc, you should now aware of someone else use your name (similar name with your steemit account name) and/or act on behalf of you to scam and commit fraud to many people on discord channels. I was one of his/her victim this morning. By may mistaken he/she managed to get from me transferred to @blocktrades with this code on the memo :
They are deliberately searching of some big whale names/steemit ID and use it as their name on discord channel to get attention from minnows.
I hope this information will be used properly to protect yourselves. For big healthy whales I expect that you will pay any necessary attention to kind of things in the future. I sure that you with your advance knowledge on IT, will eventually find him/her real account both on discord and steemit.
Please pay attention on how they can get to you my friends:
- They will nicely add you you as his friend and start to chat you on discord. Asking your purpose and encourage you to look at his/her fake account (Someone else account preferably big generous accounts). When he see you pay attentions the he/she will somehow lead the conversation about SP delegation with some amount of guarantee fee. They will not say rent fees at all. He/she will act very nice and friendly.
2.. He/she will start to negotiate the price with you
The negotiation will end up with little amount of SBD, as you agreed and then he/she will guide you to transfer it to @blocktrades with mentioned
3.. This is how I get on his/her traps
I response all the messages from him/her what we talk about personal purpose on the chat. I am very open minded fro new friends no matter of his/her reputation. That is also my weaknesses I won't say not to help others in need as long as I could.
And the last here is the transaction I made to #blocktrades :
I was lucky when I realize the code was strange so then I immediately changed the whole access key to my steemit account, and I strongly recommend you to DO NOT USE YOUR MASTER KEY for log in and transferring things, but use proper key for it such as active key, posting key and memo key to ensure your security purpose.
I am sure that many of us have had similar experience and I hope this post will help you detect scamming. cheating, abusing, and action of theft, and please secure you account by not to use your master key when you log in into steemit platform. Let's hope my stupidity will not happen again in the future.
Life must goes on, and this is really expensive lessons for me for better managing account. I hope he/she will eventually realize that there is no good life for being a thief!!
ah @el-nailul I am so sorry this happened to you. 10 SBD is a lot. I have resteemed this post for extra visibility.
There are also people on steemit using similar names to reputable accounts. @bullionstackers published some information today. https://steemit.com/fake/@bullionstackers/do-not-fall-for-fake-accounts-eng-bahasa
Thank you very much for your great support @paulag, I will check the link.
Pancuri dan penipu nyan rupajih dumpat na, kon lam dunia nyata saja bak steemit pih jitume seumenget. Tanyo harus lebih hati-hati lom.

Thank you very much my dear friend @ireneblessing, really appreciate your helps
Waah, jahat benar itu orang 😤 Mudah2an nanti bisa dapat ganti dan penipunya kena batunya. Just be more careful in the future 💪
Mesti extra hati2 dalam verifikasi akun yang ngajak temenan sih bang @dipoabasch
Waduh, saya nggak ngerti soal discord, mungkin karena gak begitu suka chatting dan bahasa inggrisnya itu.
I'm so sorry @el-nailul.. thanks for sharing this information, hopefully other steemians will be aware..
Oh man.. sayang that 10 esbedeh :(
Yang ka lewat hana pue pike lee...yang ukeu semoga bek na yang keunong lee...:D
I am sorry that this happened to you. We all need to keep our hearts to other people, but we must balance it with being cautious. You have learned a hard lesson, but I bet you will never have to learn it again.
Thank you for sharing your experience in order to protect other people.
Thank you for your great support @sumatranate, keep safe there...wish you all the best
Sorry to hear that. This is an expensive lesson for you.
Thank you very much for you great support @freedomshift. I think it is good to spend 10 SBD for the lessons to all of us
I have had much more expensive lessons than that, so, don't feel bad.
No, I dont feel bad at all. I have got more good things than bad things for being friend of yours and a lot of support from our steemit community after all @feedomshift.
Pay It Forward Curation ContestAs you very well know @freedomshift featured again this week as his his pick for someone who embodies the Pay It Forward mentality.
Sorry that happened :( Sadly the only way we end up finding out about scams like this is when someone is hurt by them :( Keep up the great work, I'm sure you'll earn it back in no time and hopefully by spreading the word we can prevent this from happening to someone else.
Thank you very much for your encouraging comment @tryskele. For we are as one big family, there will be more good lessons when we support each other in comments
You're very welcome and I couldn't agree more.
Bad. Very bad. There was a guy in a group informing that he was approached by some "whale" who asked 30SBD for some SP. I told him about this. See, I opened this article right after you uploaded it, but the connection was so poor for me to vote and resteem. Now I have resteemed it.
@aneukpineung78 : Do you know that if you can't hear anything from him until tomorrow, it's mean that he could not save his password from the broken laptop, be prepare to help him anyway.
Haha. He'd been expecting that for sure. 😀
Capt. @aneukpineung78 suggesting for buying a brand new laptop from Plunus bang @dipoabasch. what a wonderful advice, isn't it?
Wonderful device to get new advice. 😯😐😯
Hehe.
Have you got it?
Haaa.. You made it! Why bother buying new laptop when you have to sacrifice a tree? I suggest you to buy a steemit server instead 😋
If someone messages you on Discord or Steem.chat out of nowhere selling steem power or upvotes, 99.9999% chance it is a scam. Even more so if it is much better than the typical market prices.
Thank for your great attention @themarkymark, I really appreciate it. I have got good lesson a while ago.
wow amazing post
